Extension of California Paid Sick Leave

California’s Paid Sick Leave Law (“PSL”) has a similar extension to allow an employee to take paid sick leave for a “designated person.” The definition of “designated person” under the PSL is even broader than under the CFRA, and is defined as a person identified by the employee at the time the employee requests paid sick days. Interestingly, this definition does not require that the person be related by blood or affinity or be the equivalent of a family relationship. Employers can also limit an employee to one designated person per 12 month period under the PSL.
